FIREBOX 6-input/10-output 24-bit/96K FireWire Interface
A powerful FireWire recording interface that fits in the palm of your
hand, the FireBox is a complete recording studio combining two high
quality PreSonus microphone/instrument preamps, 24-Bit/96kHz
sample rate and Steinberg’s Cubase LE 48-track recording software.
Ideal for a professional-quality and compact computer-based studio.
◆ Has the highest record/playback track count
of its size with the ability to record six inputs
and playback through ten outputs simulta-
neously all at pro-quality 24-bit/96kHz.
◆ Two Class-A ultra-low noise high-headroom
microphone/instrument preamplifiers with
48v phantom power on the front panel.
◆ Two additional balanced TRS line inputs
along with six balanced TRS line outputs.
Two channels of S/PDIF input/output and
MIDI input/output are also included via DB9
breakout cable.
◆ Zero-Latency DSP mixer allows you to mix all
six live inputs with a software output stream,
then route that mix to any one of its outputs,
as well as assign either that mix or a software
output stream to its headphone amplifier.
◆ High quality stereo headphone output with
volume adjustment on the front panel. The
headphone output has its own two-channel
driver stream which can be used as a
separate stereo bus or two-channel output
giving you the ability to send a “cue” mix to
the headphone output and a main mix to
the main output.
◆ Powered by 6-pin FireWire bus power or via
an external power transformer.
◆ Windows XP and Mac-compatible, FireBox
comes ready-to-record with Steinberg’s
Cubase LE 48-track 24-bit/96K recording soft-
ware. It also comes with the ProPak Software
Suite, which includes more than 20 real time
plug-ins, a number of virtual instruments and
over 2 GB of drum loops and samples.
◆ 1/3 RU-wide metal chassis fits PreSonus’
MAXRACK rackmount system and can be
racked with the TubePRE, COMP16, EQ3B
and HP4 for a neat and compact computer
recording system.
